Yes that is the Chrysler car with the Alpine name tag; I also
believe there was a GT model. You should be able to do a search and pull
up it's history; I know I found a web site once about them.
Tiger Tom had one with a rotary engine; not sure where that car is any more.
It was involved in an accident, repaired and sold, I believe.
I looked at one in the Rochester NY area many years ago; a lot of surface
rust and it could not be started. Seems to me that car was listed as an
earlier Alpine, which is why I went to see it and I informed the owner that
it was a later Chrysler Alpine.

Subject: [Tigers] Is this really an Alpine ?
The things I don't know about Rootes history still exceeds the things I do,
I was not aware there was a rebodied Alpine after the Tigers demise. I found
this car for sale listed as a 1969 Alpine fastback. Is that correct ? I hope
the link works. If not look at the TEAE.org forum where I made a post under
the stock Tiger/stock Alpine category.
